[statnet_help] Fwd: Network Modeling for Epidemics @ SISMID - Applications due June 30

[Steven M. Goodreau via statnet_help]

Hello,

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering two modules pertaining
to Network Modeling for Epidemics using EpiModel at this year's SISMID
(Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases).

Both modules are in person in Atlanta.

Network Modeling for Epidemics I
<https://sismid.sph.emory.edu/modules/network-model-epidemics/index.html>:
July 21-23. This module is ideal for those who are starting out with
EpiModel, or who want a refresher. It is roughly equivalent to a condensed
version of the old NME workshop in Seattle.

Network Modeling for Epidemics I (NME-I) introduces stochastic network
models for infectious disease transmission dynamics. It is a ‘’hands-on’’
course, using the EpiModel software package in R. EpiModel software
provides a unified framework for statistically based modeling of dynamic
networks from empirical data, and simulation of epidemic dynamics over
these networks. This explicit modeling of networks is essential for
accurate projections when the contacts that enable transmission are sparse,
highly structured, heterogeneous and/or evolving over time.

Network Modeling for Epidemics II
<https://sismid.sph.emory.edu/modules/network-model-epidemics-II/index.html>:
July 23-25. This module is ideal for those who have taken or will take
NME-I, either this year or last year at SISMID, or else in Seattle in years
pass.

Network Modeling for Epidemics II extends the material in NME-I to
developing research-level applications of EpiModel and its underlying TERGM
statistical framework.  Here, we focus on learning how to use the
application programming interface (API) in EpiModel to design and program
epidemic model components (or “modules”) that define a network-based
epidemic model for a specific research question. The goal is to enable
students to build EpiModel extensions to represent any infectious disease
component in a system of interest.

*Applications are due June 30.*

Please feel free to share widely!

Yours,
Martina Morris, Steve Goodreau and Samuel Jenness
